Guestbook comments from the manager

Hi, we stayed at the St. Lawrence Dene when we came to the Isle of Wight Festival. It was amazing to be able to go back there after a long day at the site and just relax in the hot tub under the stars. It rained a lot over the Festival so some of our group just stayed and chilled at the house on Saturday, playing pool and table tennis but mainly in the hot tub which is amazing in the rain! The kitchen was great with huge fridges and freezers. We ordered food and drinks online before we came which was delivered and the housekeeper had put it all away, with drinks in to chill when we got there. We called the housekeeper to come in and clear up for us on a couple of days while we were out so we didn't have to bother which was great, it was only a few quid between us and much better than having to do it ourselves. We'll definitely be back. Great place.

Review title: St Lawrence Dene

We were a party of 16 family members from 6 to 74 years young; gathered together for a week to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Trevor and Ann Raven. St Lawrence Dene close to Ventnor on the Isle of Wight is an almost perfect venue for a family celebration. This large Manor House has a fully equipped modern kitchen, lovely bedrooms, many bathrooms, and an amazing delux shower room. We enjoyed the large Hot Tub in the garden, Billiards, Table tennis, Lawn Crochet and 50 inch television (kids especially). There was even a Wi-Fi connection. The library of famous old books could keep a bookworm happy for the whole week if we let it. We had amazing close up views of Badgers every evening, and red squirrel coming for peanuts every day. Foxes were in a neighbouring field. Buzzard, Woodpecker and Jay were in the garden or overhead, and birdwatching along the cliffs was highly rated by the ornithologists in our party. For the more energetic also, the coastal footpath walks to Ventnor and beyond were a high point. I have tried to find something wrong with this property, but I can't. Anything seems just finicky compared with what we enjoyed. Even the very large table in the dining room, which seemed at first too large, turned out to be great , and gave our evening meals a party atmosphere, with all 16 of us seated around it.

Mid Winter Party Get Away

I rented St Lawrence Dene for a weekend to celebrate my Girlfriend's birthday. We had a party of 15 and all had to coordinate getting there from different parts of the country (mainly southwest and London). Despite the house feeling like it is hidden away everyone got there very easily and in good time!

It was fantastic having a 9 bedroom house all to ourselves, and of course I got to nab the master bedroom with four poster bed and sea views!

The place is perfectly set up for looking after groups, with a large kitchen that is full of equipment and a large dining table that comfortably sat all of us. The pool table and table tennis kept everyone entertained, and for a bit of fresh air the cove near by is definitely worth a visit.

Probably the highlight of the weekend was getting to use the hot tub, which was blissful in the winter rain and it even had multi-colored lights which looked great at night.

I would certainly recommend this venue as summer holiday house for the family or a party venue as per our visit. It has all the necessary facilities you could need, was easy to arrange and the owners went out of their way to ensure we had a good time.

As a group of 15 we recently stayed at the Dene to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday. The premises are set near a stunning coastline and the grounds themselves are grand and spacious. The facilities were first class and I would have no hesitation in recommending The Dene and I hope to return again in the summer.

A fantastic family holiday, nothing was too much trouble for the house keeper. Everything we needed was there including a hot tub, snooker table and table tennis. We had the most wonderful time in this beautiful old house. I can strongly recommend it to anyone.

Victorians flocked to St. Lawrence for its mild climate and healthy sea air, building grand, high ceilinged properties with wonderful sea and country views, of which St. Lawrence Dene is envied as the best. On the famous coastal path, which wraps around the whole Island, walking, cycling, golfing, fishing, beach life are on your doorstep. Isle of Wight Festival, Bestival, Blackgang Chine theme park, Osborne House, Robin Hill, the island yachting mecca of Cowes.
